"I'm so nervous," Madison confided in Lexie as she checked over and her dress, adjusting her mic. She and Lexie were going to be performing in a little bar that they often frequented as a way of livening up the place that night and bringing in some new customers. The fact that they were also getting some money for it was just an added bonus, Maddy thought with a smile.
"Hey Albert. If you have no plans tonight, drop by 'The Garden Club'. There's a slight surprise here tonight." she texted him. She didn't know if they were ok or not, but he didn't know about her performing and she thought this might be an interesting surprise.

Lexie pulled her into a hug. "It'll be great. Don't worry. We've done this sort of thing before. It'll be fun, just like always." He watched as he sent a text. "Anyone we know that'll be coming?" he asked.

"I know we're gonna be great," she said with a smile. "But the butterflies refuse to go away," she told him. At his question she shrugged. "Well, Sasha might be coming, but I don't think you know her... And Albert might possibly make an appearance though I'm not getting my hopes up..."
She checked her phone, wondering where Maya was. She'd convinced her sister to come play with them as they needed another guitarist for their first half of the show. "I feel like the Jonas Brothers, with only three of us," she remarked with a giggle.

"Hey!" Maya rushed up to them, giving them hugs. "Sorry I'm late. England was calling again. I swear they just can't operate without me," she said with a grin. She was wearing a purple corset dress, her hair falling about her shoulders. "So, let's get this party started, shall we?" Maya said with a grin, going over and picking up her guitar. This was going to be fun.

Maddy laughed. "Next time tell them that it was they who sent you over here, so they need to grow up and function without you. You must be a pretty highly rated anthropologist over there for them to call you so much." She knew that with her sister's skill for her job and her love for it, that statement would in fact most likely be true.
She put her own guitar on and grinned. "Yes. Let's." She watched as Lexie sat himself behind the drums. "Party rock is in the house tonight," she quoted to Maya with a grin.

Sasha had been invited by Maddy to " The Garden Club" and she wondered what was going on and she entered the club on her own as Ryan had to look after Kaya while Sasha was out and she adjusted her outfit she'd chosen to wear out that night..

She spotted Maddy and others who she'd never met yet but it made her wonder what would be happening there while she went to get a soda for the night..

Albert got a text message from Madison, not long after he left from the office. It was short and it didn't reveal much, but luckily, he was free that night, so he thought that he should pass by the place mentioned in the message. He entered The Garden Club and sat down at the table. Madison was nowhere to be seen, so he thought that she would probably show up later.

Sasha was drinking her white soda when she bumped into someone who she didn't know and replied " Sorry."

Madison looked out into the crowd, and smiled seeing Albert. Seeing Sasha sitting at one of the tables nearby she smiled even wider. This was going to be fun. Giving a nod to Maya, the two began strumming and Lexie joined in on the drums. They'd decided to start off with the rock version of 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' because frankly, who didn't love a Disney?
As she began to sing, she glanced at Albert for a moment, wondering exactly what he was gonna think.

Alexa was lost again.
She wasn't allow on her own just yet but couldn't help but sneaked out.

On her musings she accidentally found herself guided to some club by a faint sound of singing.

She walked inside and saw a group performing.
She recognized one of the people. It was Madison.

Sahsa was surprised by what she saw and then noticed someone coming inside and wondered if she should say anything about Ryan or not.

Maddy was grinning, having fun like she normally did when they performed. She hadn't done this in a while and she'd missed it. As much as she loved her CSI job, she loved performing just as much, especially at this club.
She looked over at the doorway and smiled, seeing Alexa. She motioned with her head for the girl to come sit down, happy that she was getting to see more and more of her friends tonight, unaware that she was lost.

Sasha sighed and thought over the past year and wondered if everything was ever gonna be ok.

Alexa noticed Maddy's nodd and slipped through bunch of people in front to join.

"Hi Maddy. So glad to finally see familiar face." she said relieved that finally she's not lost anymore.

As the song finished, Maddy took off her guitar and went up to Alexa, giving her a hug. "Hi sweetie. It's good to see you. That's Lexie and Maya,' she told her, gesturing towards her friends. She looked over to where Albert was sitting, wondering whether she should go over and say hello or not.

Sasha was thinking about things and decided not tell anyone her thoughts in case something happened.

"Oh hi honey. I was afraid that everyone I know has left the city." she said returning hug.

"Nice to meet you guys, I'm Alexa." she smiled at Maddy's friends.

Lexie gave a wave at Maddy's friend when she introduced him. He went over to the mic at the front of the stage, wanting to give Maddy and her friend some time to chat.
"Hi guys!" he said to the crowd with a smile. "Some of you guys might know us, some may not. In any case we're Lexie, Maya and Maddy, and we'll be performing for you this evening. Because we're crazy and awesome just like our darling 'Garden Club', our stuff will be anything and everything, from Rammstein to Disney," he said with a laugh. "So just enjoy yourselves and have a good time!"

Alexa's eyes beamed hearing Rammstein name.
Awesome, she thought.

Sasha sighed and realised who the girl was as Ryan had told her but she wasn't gonna say anything

As Maddy and her sister appeared on stage, Albert's eyes widened and he couldn't help a smile anymore. He knew that Madison liked to sing and that she was good at that, but he had thought that it was only a shower thing. Well, it seemed like it wasn't, and it seemed like it could easily be taken as the voice of a star.
As they finished, he thought to go right there and hug her or kiss her, but eventually decided to wait until they finished. However, he still couldn't wipe that happy, proud, surprised smile off his face.

Maddy looked over at Albert and seeing his smile couldn't help but grin herself. She liked his reaction and she enjoyed seeing him happy. She swapped looks with Lexie and gave a nod.
"This next one is for all you sexy Germans and Rammstein-lovers out there," she said to the crowd, winking at Albert as she said the sexy Germans part. Having seen Alexa's happy expression at the mention of the German band, she knew that the girl would enjoy this song also. It was 'Mein Land', one of her personal favourites of Rammstein. She closed her eyes for a moment as she played, then as she and Lexie began to sing, she opened them, surveying the crowd. Man this was fun...

Albert grinned and raised his eyebrows when Maddy winked at him. This really was a pleasant surprise, such a beautiful way to end a busy day. He relaxed and sipped from his drink, his heart beating faster which each note she sang.

Rammstein, performing with her friends, and getting to see Albert: this was definitely a good night, Maddy thought to herself. She looked over at Maya who was concentrating with a smile on her face and grinned. She continued singing, knowing that the song sounded so different being sung by a female, but she didn't care. She grinned as she saw the owner nodding his head to the music. This wasn't a night to be forgotten for some time...

Lexie looked out into the crowd, a grin on his face. He enjoyed performing, enjoyed showing off his talent within reason. He watched as a newcomer snuck into the bar, ordered a drink than looked at Lexie. Lexie held the stranger's gaze for a moment before looking back to the drums, biting his lip and concentrating.
